Is it that the audience does not understand the play, or the director cannot see the essence of the film?
This year's film market can be said to be very competitive, but there are two dramas that have won unanimous praise from the public, one is "Chosin Lake" and one is "My Father and Me".
As the two dark horses of the 2021 film industry, their box office directly "snatched away" the limelight of other movies released at the same time. It can be said that in addition to these two plays, other contemporaneous films have suffered from Waterloo.
Could it be that the quality of these films is not good? Or is the aura of the first two too powerful?
Not long ago, the director of Huang Xuan's new film "Wuhai" sent such a long article, saying that due to special reasons, the film "Wuhai" was forced to be released this year. But the box office was very dismal, and there was no way to recover the cost. The director also exposed his loan to shoot a drama, saying bluntly that he was under a lot of pressure.
In addition, in this long article, the director also specifically explained that the shooting is not easy, the main actors are also very hard, and many people have left messages in the comment area after reading his article.
Some people said that this play is still very interesting, and some people said that the acting skills of the main actors were wasted, and this film is a completely bad film.
So, what is the movie "Wuhai"? Is the reason for the dismal box office simply because of the positive encounter with two heavyweight films? What's the problem?
First of all, let's talk about the movie "Wuhai". Before the film was released, it was nominated for several awards.
The main actors in the play are also our old acquaintances Huang Xuan and Yang Zishan. In addition, there are TuMen, Wang Shaohua Wang Chaobei and others to join. In terms of star lineup, it's not bad at all.
It can be said that as long as the content of the movie does not deviate too outrageously, with the acting skills of these several people, it is enough to support the entire drama. The director who was able to make "Old Beast" before would not have found a bad script.
But when the movie was broadcast, the plot of "Wuhai" became a place where the audience did not buy it. In the plot, the couple played by Huang Xuan Yang Zishan unfolds in the background of the man's loan.
The people who came to collect the debt wrote the four big words "Yang Hua repays the money" in bright red paint, and originally a pair of loving lovers became hysterical because of the foreign debt, and the contradictions continued.
Many people say that although this movie seems to be a film that exposes reality, it does not have much depth. The director also did not show us more darkness through the contradiction between the husband and wife.
Some are just because of loan quarrels and quarrels, and these things, in our daily life, as long as we turn to the page can see things, why spend money to come to the theater to see?
Although the film has won many awards, the real plot is not satisfactory, and the director is just showing off his own things from his own "artistic" perspective. Although the cast is good, it is also purely white.
As one of the few powerful young actors in China, Huang Xuan's profession is obvious to everyone. During the filming of "Only Yun Knows", director Feng Xiaogang also cried more than once because of Huang Xuan's real acting skills.
Even director Chen Kaige praised him, in order to shoot Bai Juyi's state when he could not write "Long Hate Song", he was stunned in the ice and snow, wearing a thin dress for an hour.
Someone asked him how to play a role well, and Huang Xuan said: "You don't have to deliberately disguise yourself, as long as you believe that you are him, you can do it."
Do what the character has done, think about what the character has thought, feel empathy, you are the character.
So, like this, will the movies be ugly? The answer is no, in order to play the role of Yang Hua, Huang Xuan came to the crew a month in advance.
Let the director take him around the city of Wuhai over and over again, in order to substitute himself into it and become a part of Wuhai. In addition, in order to better fit the role of Yang Hua, Huang Xuanyan completely placed himself in a dark corner and released his dark side in that month's time.
The final result is really good, Huang Xuan is completely into the scene, and even after the shooting is completed, he did not come out.
But even so, the superb acting skills of the lead actor cannot bring this so-called realistic film.
According to common sense, what the public needs is actually very simple, as long as the movie is good, as for how deep it is, it does not matter much.
After all, with the development of society, people's viewing ability is also constantly improving. There is also a standard for looking at certain things.
The movie "Wuhai", husband and wife conflicts, loan storms, cheating and splitting legs, are all very common things. But the director patronizes rendering the most superficial "artistic atmosphere" and does not dig deeper into the problems behind these characters doing so.
Therefore, under the fatigue of the senses, it is reasonable that the film score is not high. As for whether it is advisable for the director to sell misery, I believe that everyone still has their own opinions.
Some time ago, the director of "Five Splashing Teenagers" has already sold it once in a certain sound. And at the same time that his connection sold miserably, those anchors who hung up his connection were also subjected to the "sympathizer" network violence.
Although it is indeed impolite to hang up the connection involuntarily, this way of selling misery is also debatable. Although the box office of the film eventually went up some, this box office was based on the "pain" of others.
And the behavior of selling miserably for attention, a small number of occurrences may cause netizens to care for each other, but it has been like this, there is some "sympathy" fatigue.
The director of "Wuhai" just caught up with everyone's fatigue period.
In addition, if the movie is really good, the plot is really good, as a realistic film, the audience can also learn something that they don't usually know.
So how could it have a low box office, and how could the director have fallen to the point of selling miserably?
At the end of the day, the wool is out of the sheep, and the problem has to start from the play. Only when the level of film production is high, there will be no such embarrassing situation of loan filming as it is now.
I don't know what everyone thinks about this?
